"flu" didn't sound scary enough, they changed the name to "covid".
If it was flu rebranded the death rates would have stayed within the same range they have done for the last few years, however that is not the case, so it cannot be flu.
That's a ridiculously disingenuous source for that kind of statistics, did you get that from reddit? The death rates ARE in the same reasonable range they have been for the last decades.

A 1% variation isn't "out of range"... If there was a "deadly pandemic" going on, there would be bodybags in the street and everybody would be wearing Level 3 PPE.

It’s an official government website.
Are you looking at the data on a yearly level? That’s far to broad. My data is broken down by week where you can see more detail.
It literally shows during the peak of covid in the UK, the overall death rate of the whole country doubled vs the average and range for the last 5 years. You can also visibly see when the lockdowns happened, as the curve trends back down again to normal-ish levels.
Aka baddy bad flu season<------- SEE SCARY NAME!!
